WASHINGTON -- Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is the only Senate candidate President Donald Trump has helped with fundraising, but Hawley still only managed to raise less than half the amount collected by the Democrat he hopes to unseat, Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Hawley reported raising $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2018, according to paperwork his campaign filed with the Federal Election Commission. That total includes $1.29 million in contributions plus $206,220 transferred from the Trump fundraiser and other authorized committees in March.

McCaskill raised $3.9 million during the same time period.

Hawley has $2.12 million in the bank, compared to McCaskill’s $11.5 million.

1. It will be a tight race with lots of outside money pouring in.

That said, Claire is a savvy politician and should not be counted out.

I may send $5.00 to Hawley as candidates to whom I donate always seem to lose, so it might be worthwhile to increase his chances anyway I can. I figure that they will waste much more than that in mailings which I can recycle ♻️ into the bin once I’m on the mailing list.

What a political gold digger!
